UCL Department of French

UCL has a renowned tradition in both teaching and research
in French dating back to the foundation of the College in 1826 and
continuing to the present day. UCL was the first university in the country to create a
chair of French and this was one of the first chairs of any modern
language to be established anywhere in the world. The department, housed within the School of European Languages, Culture & Society, is at the cutting edge of current debate in French in
this country, as may be judged by its consistently high research ratings.
